the gt has 260 hp stock with 300 foot pounds of torque i highly doubt that a v6 n/a mitsubishi is anywhere close to that

you'll be fine in the 01 against either car rsx's are high 14 second cars low 15 seconds if i remember right i almost raced one one night but cops were out everywhere but i wouldnt be worried i beat an S2000 on the interstate by 3 cars when i had similar mods to you so you'll be fine i would offer $20 for the race and im sure you'll come out $20 richer

My friend's RSX-S ran 13.9@103

He has headgaskets, KPRO, full exhaust(header too), and motor/transmission mounds. Oh, and a CAI. Those cars do wonders with a few little mods.

The GTS you should worry about an MBC or something

Both cars stock dont stand a chance.

I think it was those head gaskets that pushed it into the 13's.

That would be the GS-T that would have a MBC not the GTS. The GTS is a 210 hp V-6, the GS-T is a 210 hp turbo 4 cylinder

You'll kill the Eclipse,my friend has one and it's a mid 15s car at best,I ran him with a stock '93 240sx I used to have and he only pulled me about a car length from 45mph to 100 mph,you'll beat the RSX too,but it should be closer.

I ran a stock M6 RSX-S and from 60-100 I had a couple busses on him, as in, it was UGLY!!!! He was stunned. If he is stock you will kill him. No, it was not the head-gaskets, he has a K20A (10 more hp than the RSX-S motor) and he had the gaskets and exhaust he ran 14.9@95 or something. THen he added Header and KPRO. KPRO makes a TON!!!! of difference on those cars. IT flattens the tq out where it looks LITERALLY like a 04 Cobra tq curve. It is sick. (they dont make that much, around 150ish with his mods, but STILL, its FLAT from 2500- redline).

I love my car. It responds well to mods, does not take that much to make it fast, and its AWD. IF you are going to get one, try to find one that's stock. If you have any more questions just PM me.
